[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Not Creating Thumbnails or Resize Images

I’m having the exact same problem running the same versions. I’m just waiting for at solution.

Same Here

Don’t know if this will help you but: Think I figured it out! I had special characters in the name (Sundust’s Rio Gold) The ‘ I took it out and named the gallery sundusts-rio-gold with no caps or special characters and made sure the path name was the same and saved it and now it works. Hope this helps someone else. I had 8 galleries I had this problem with and it fixed all of them ??
Good luck!

Hmm… all my galleries (test-mode) are named in one word with no caps and no special characters (for example: testgal, testgal2).

But thanks anyway.

I’m having the same issue with the bulk resize and single photo resize.

I’m having the exact same problem. The images I’m uploading are only 800×600, and when I generate a thumbnail, the orange bar gets to 100%, disappears, and I’m just left with an empty box. I’ve resorted to creating thumbnails manually and uploading them via FTP. It worked before just fine. I could do a whole folder and everything was fine. Now I can’t do one small image. Frustrating, because otherwise I love how this plug-in works. Gonna have to dump it soon. ??

Same problem.. Anyone’s solutioning ?

So is the consensus that this plugin has potential but is pretty much garbage? I can’t even generate thumbnails or medium sized images on a fresh web site with no other plugins installed. I’ve even done the memory trick that I read about somewhere else. Very annoying, because it worked so well before.

I was having the same problem. I noticed my thumbnails worked on one gallery, but not the other. I found this:

Nexgen Plugin Support

This fixed my problem. It was a memory issue due to large image file size. The bar would make it to 100% when creating thumbnails and I wasn’t getting an error message on my screen, yet the thumbnails never showed up.

For Older Version:
You just edit the file “thumbnail.inc.php” which is located at: /wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/thumbnail.inc.php

Search for
// @ini_set(‘memory_limit’, ’128M’);

Change it to
ini_set(‘memory_limit’, ’128M’);

Now you are done, just save and upload the file.

For New Version:
You will not find the file “thumbnail.inc.php” instead you will find the file “gd.thumbnail.inc.php” which is located in the same location “/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/thumbnail.inc.php” . You just need to edit this file.

Search for
// @ini_set(‘memory_limit’, ’128M’);

Change it to
@ini_set(‘memory_limit’, ’128M’);

This works. THANK YOU loumitch.

I just tried this fix and I keep getting this error when uploading large images, which is the same error I got before changing the code:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 32243712) (tried to allocate 6400 bytes) in /homepages/28/d364878512/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php on line 431

I’m using WordPress v. 3.1.3 and NextGEN Gallery plug-in v. 1.7.4.

Any ideas?

Try increasing the memory available to PHP:

I increased the memory in all of the files discussed except .htaccess – I get Internal Server Error 500 in my browser anytime I try to edit the php memory limit in that file. Does that mean my server doesn’t have any more memory available, or could there be a special syntax other than php_value memory_limit 128M based on my host’s server config?

I’m afraid that this is something you will need to discuss with your hosts.

Yeah, it turns out there’re only 30mb of memory allotted. For anyone else having a problem modifying the memory limit in .htaccess, make sure you check the memory max your host offers with your service.
